This is what I love the most about those freebies: a lot of these games are games that I had some interest on, but didn't mean to buy. Some I end up playing and loving. Viewfinder is exactly one of those.
Right? Cassette beasts and Viewfinder were both games I have been wanting to play for months now, but have always ended up buying some other more popular game instead. I'm happy to grab them for free now.
These are the best gifts in my opinion: A thing you're really interested in but somehow don't get around to get yourself, and then someone gifts it to you!
I played this game as demo on some steam demo fest. I was talking about this game since then, and i didnt even recognize it from its name, but when i saw screenshots i was really happy. Epic Games and PC Game Pass are exactly what i need, a licence to play a game that i would probably never purchase, mostly because of price being too high for single player game that i will probably finish in 5-6 hours and never open it again.
Brazilian here. My combo is: Amazon Prime + Google Play Pass + Epic freebies + r/freegamefindings + gg.deals alerts (not in specific order). I've lost the count of how many AAA titles I got from free. I got to a point that don't feel like buying games above 10 BRL, even if it's a historical low.
Game Pass prices got ridiculously abusive and I don't approve it, but I've never subscribed to and never felt like I was missing out.

Same, so many games on my wishlist this season. The only bummer this year is how many of these games I already have, but I'm not even upset because they're great games (just wish I would have waited). It's been banger after banger for me this year.
It's a great game, and I freaking loved playing this.
Which is why it's gonna hurt when I inevitably see in my feed tomorrow videos/posts of "Eugh Epic giving away another trash game, wHerE rDr2 HuRr dUrR". :(
well I fitgirled it instead because my net worth is like 10 bucks, but it's still sad to see so much shovelware on the giveaway when it was aaa previous years
True. People also seem to have this preconceived notion that AAA automatically equals good, when most of them are shit. They'd rather have 1 shitty AAA game than 10 good indies, just because the shit game costs more.
...no that's not what shovelware is. You've really gotta educate yourself on what actual shovelware are before throwing that word around.
That's like calling cellphone brands that aren't Samsung or Apple bricks just because the model isn't known to the general public, or calling food stalls and family restaurants' food dirt just because they're not known or popular
I mean, at least half of the games I knew beforehand. Its not like they’re some random games they pulled out of their ass. They’re not really my genre for the most part, but Casette Beasts at least is pretty famous among people who play those types of games
No, shovelware is what's known today as asset flips. Nothing wrong with fitgirling when you're broke, as I've definitely been there before, but just pay it back in the future.

was amazed by this game when I was watching a let's play of it, back when I had a potato PC that could only dream of running games. now I have a more capable setup, this offer comes and reminds me of this game. truly one of the best offers I've claimed from Epic (personal opinion). can't wait to play and experience firsthand this gem of a game.
Agreed, and still if you listen carefully you'll hear the cries of "wHeRe ArE mY AAAs?"
This selection ticks almost every box. Bloodstained is probably the one I'm most excited by, but there are others I'd never heard of which look like they'll be great fun.
So much in the world deserves cynicism and negativity, so how about when something this good happens we all allow ourselves a smile and say "thanks"?
Yeah, you don't even need to say thank you or be positive, and I don't even mind the "not for me" or "I don't like those games" comments, but those who are shitting on everything that is not AAA and calling these games shovelware or slop or "bad games" when most of these games are award-winning well-reviewed interesting games, those people are something else...
The irony is that the AAA games that they worship could often far more reasonably be described as formulaic or generic than the award winning indie 'slop' they're shitting on, which dares to take risks and probe new ideas. Some people really are incapable of seeing worth measured by anything other than a price tag.
Yay, another one that I had my eye on lol. Some people are probably disappointed at the lack of AAA, but it's been a pretty good slate of free games for my tastes at least
The lineup’s been pretty good though. I mean its not as good as when they gave away GTA V and Civilization like back to back, but since then this is probably the best streak they’ve had.
Hmm… Post history: Black Ops 7. I dont think we should trust your taste in games.
I mean the game won multiple awards, and got 92% positive reviews on Steam, so apparently people who are into that genre liked it, why are you surprised that some people had it on their wishlists?
Yea it's a fucking indie puzzle game weirdo of course it's not gonna have a huge player count. It's has nothing to do with 'toxic positivity' 🙄, it's about realizing you're not the main character and people can like things you don't.
DRM Check in progress, place yer bets!Game is DRM-Free!

I'm really loving SKALD so far, and I would have never played it if it wasn't free on Epic.

My current problem with PC Game Pass is the price in Brazil.
Price is high even in parts of Europe, but there is always a way to get it cheaper from key sellers.

These guys...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This game is literally in my wishlist. Such a beautiful game! Thanks Epic!!
Same, so many games on my wishlist this season. The only bummer this year is how many of these games I already have, but I'm not even upset because they're great games (just wish I would have waited). It's been banger after banger for me this year.
r/patientgamers
this is a great game, tbh epic is giving back to back good games
It's a great game, and I freaking loved playing this.
Which is why it's gonna hurt when I inevitably see in my feed tomorrow videos/posts of "Eugh Epic giving away another trash game, wHerE rDr2 HuRr dUrR". :(
lol if they want rdr2 why wont they just buy it already instead of whining everywhere and trashing other great games
There are some people who don't want to be happy, they want other people miserable.
Tearing down is always easier than building up, unfortunately
well I fitgirled it instead because my net worth is like 10 bucks, but it's still sad to see so much shovelware on the giveaway when it was aaa previous years
I don’t think you know what shovelware is…?
True. People also seem to have this preconceived notion that AAA automatically equals good, when most of them are shit. They'd rather have 1 shitty AAA game than 10 good indies, just because the shit game costs more.
it's anything I haven't heard of imo, anything unknown to the general public
...no that's not what shovelware is. You've really gotta educate yourself on what actual shovelware are before throwing that word around.
That's like calling cellphone brands that aren't Samsung or Apple bricks just because the model isn't known to the general public, or calling food stalls and family restaurants' food dirt just because they're not known or popular
They gave away Disco Elysium which is literally one of the most praised games of the last decade
correct, elysium and hogwarts legacy are the two real games from the giveaway imo (calisto protocol is still shovelware despite being aaa)
I mean, at least half of the games I knew beforehand. Its not like they’re some random games they pulled out of their ass. They’re not really my genre for the most part, but Casette Beasts at least is pretty famous among people who play those types of games
No, shovelware is what's known today as asset flips. Nothing wrong with fitgirling when you're broke, as I've definitely been there before, but just pay it back in the future.
if you think all these amazing games (for the most part) are shovelware it's really only your loss, you're missing out by only playing aaa slop
If you're pirating already at least have the decency to not shit on literal free giveaways lol
i buy games on good sales and pirate overpriced ones 🤷♂️
Lucky for you it doesn't get more underpriced than free ninety nine
It's always been a mix of indies and AAA. This is pretty much what the lineups have always looked like.

Good bot
This is the "did you just shift reality?" game
Already played this one, pretty neat idea for a game, story is meh but the gameplay is pretty cool
was amazed by this game when I was watching a let's play of it, back when I had a potato PC that could only dream of running games. now I have a more capable setup, this offer comes and reminds me of this game. truly one of the best offers I've claimed from Epic (personal opinion). can't wait to play and experience firsthand this gem of a game.
Protip: After you play this look up some speedruns for it.
Here's the current any% world record for anyone who's interested.
Well here’s the obligatory missed claim by me. It’s hard to remember and do it everyday 😔
Thanks
This is easily one of the best end of the year selections Epic has ever done.
Agreed, lots of really solid titles that have been on my wishlists for ages that I just hadn’t pulled the trigger on
Agreed, and still if you listen carefully you'll hear the cries of "wHeRe ArE mY AAAs?"
This selection ticks almost every box. Bloodstained is probably the one I'm most excited by, but there are others I'd never heard of which look like they'll be great fun.

It's such a cool concept!
Yeah!
I've seen it from smii7y, and the game is excellent
Finally! Something from my wishlist that isn't a repeated giweaway or a game I've already bought.
Very cool game. I have it on ps plus. cool to have it on pc too.
YO I was literally JUST about to buy this!!!
17 mystery games. We should get two games on the 01/01/2026.
yay! I was eyeing for this unique puzzle! Thanks epic!
It’s been a great year for me, thanks to FGF for sharing and to Epic Games!
lmao dang. I bought this game on Steam during the summer sale! shoot!
Same for me with Disco Elysium, then Epic gave it away on the 25th.
Yay, another one that I had my eye on lol. Some people are probably disappointed at the lack of AAA, but it's been a pretty good slate of free games for my tastes at least
Honestly I'm glad about lack of AAA, non-AAA games are honestly more creative and fun
So for how many years the clowns with the lists of leaks will keep claiming a Red Dead Redemption 2 drop?
Looks interesting. Honestly I'll take these smaller gems over some mid triple A titles.
Thank you for the game.
Nice
Aye, this makes six games now that I either had on my Steam wish list or was interested in checking out.
Oh nice, it was on my Steam wishlist for ages.
This is a very good game. Get it while it lasts!
Game is really good btw, loved playing this
12 days of Christmas is complete. What a rush.
OTOH only 3 days left. It'll be a sad day when the bonanza is over.
,
oh it's this game
What's happening? Am I blind? How am I missing those? I swear I'm looking every day.
Of all games to miss, terrible one to miss. Tragic.
Peakkkk
Lets fucking goo i LOVE THIS GAME
This one looks great! I'll definitely give it a go on my Deck!
thank you
Holy shit I've been wanting this game for forever!!!
finally something good
Pokemon Snap?
great game, finally something i will surely play :) thanks
goated
Another game I never heard of 😂
Surprise surprise another dog shit game 👎
The lineup’s been pretty good though. I mean its not as good as when they gave away GTA V and Civilization like back to back, but since then this is probably the best streak they’ve had.
Hmm… Post history: Black Ops 7. I dont think we should trust your taste in games.
Surprise surprise, another entitled gamer whining about free stuff.
Taste issue
No offense but can somebody who had it on the wishlist actually prove it?

Here you go lol, is it that unbelievable? It's not a huge game or anything but like it's not unfathomably niche either.
I mean the game won multiple awards, and got 92% positive reviews on Steam, so apparently people who are into that genre liked it, why are you surprised that some people had it on their wishlists?

Don't question, only consume. Toxic positivity only!

"things I don't like are objectively bad, and people who like those things are lying".
Yea it's a fucking indie puzzle game weirdo of course it's not gonna have a huge player count. It's has nothing to do with 'toxic positivity' 🙄, it's about realizing you're not the main character and people can like things you don't.
What a toddler mentality.
[deleted]
maybe the final game will be a AAA tho the games this year are really good
It's gonna be clair obscure for new years tho
Careful folks: it's advertised as free, but it's showing full price in the store page.
give it a couple minutes...
